**Specialist Doctor's Response:**
**Re: Frequent Colds (Every 2-3 Months) with Nasal/Throat/Ear Symptoms**
Dear Patient,
Your pattern of **frequent colds** (every 2-3 months) with **runny nose, sore throat, feverishness, and ear congestion** suggests either:
### **Possible Causes:**
1️⃣ **Recurrent Viral URIs** (Most common)
2️⃣ **Allergic Rhinitis** (Triggers: Dust, Pollen, Weather Changes)
3️⃣ **Chronic Sinusitis** (If congestion lasts >12 weeks)
4️⃣ **Immunodeficiency** (If infections are severe/prolonged)
### **Recommended Steps:**
✔ **Allergy Testing** (If sneezing/itchy eyes accompany colds)
✔ **ENT Evaluation** (Check for nasal polyps/deviated septum)
✔ **Immunity Workup** (If infections are unusually severe)
### **Self-Care Tips:**
- **Nasal Saline Rinses** (2x daily) – Reduces viral load
- **Steam Inhalation** + **Saltwater Gargles** (Soothes throat)
- **Vitamin D3 + Zinc** (Boosts immunity if deficient)
- **Humidifier Use** (Prevents dry nasal passages)
### **When to Consult?**
- If colds last **>10 days** or need **repeated antibiotics**
- If you develop **wheezing, facial pain, or hearing loss**
**For a detailed evaluation & preventive plan, consult me.**

If these symptoms stay for more than 1 week and are not getting cured even after taking medicines, then you should consult an ENT specialist for better evaluation. If this is not the case and you are not having other health issues, these symptoms are very common among people of your age.
Also, there may be several factors which can cause these symptoms e.g. a change in temperature, drinking cold drink/ water , taking bath / washing hair at odd times( night) , or you may be more sensitive to all of these slight changes etc.
